Someone else listening to music from my account

Someone else listening to music from my account

Spotify was open on my phone right in front of me when I noticed a song was being played on another device. A song I had never heard before.

Looking at the recent playlists, this person had been listening to music on my account for a while, maybe half an hour. I have never shared or posted my password anywhere. I immediately used the "log out from all devices" function and reset my password.

What the **bleep** just happened? Should I be worried? Did I proceed the right way?

 

Thank you all for your help.

Hi there @edufedrizzi

 

​If you’re at all worried about the security of your account, you can also contact the support team.

Hello @edufedrizzi. As far as action taken it looks like you've done the right thing. Spotify accounts are most likely compromised when the same login information is used for another site/service that has experienced a data breach. I strongly recommend using a password manager, such as LastPass, as a way of ensuring that all of your accounts are secure.

 

If you run into this problem again please let me know and we can work through this. Best of luck!
